I would think that it probably doesn't take that much longer since the host know's they need to have their order ready. It may even encourage them to order more with their discount if their FPV doesn't cover everything on their wishlist.

So who is Julie and how do I get more info on what she has to offer? I actually really like this idea and think I might try it for a few months also.

Oooo... that's an easy one... Julie Weitz at Home.

<giggle> just noticed that her address is Walla Walla WA... sounds like the babbling my 18 mo old does! <giggle>
 
I usually close my shows after the "church night" that's closest to 3 days out. For example, if the show's on Tuesday, we'll close Sunday night. If it's on Saturday, we'll close Wednesday night. They always have non-attending friends from church they want to talk to again. My hosts usually climb one or two levels from what they were at the show.

Also, I'm anxious to get out and get home b/c I have to get up at 5:30 for my "day" job...
